What is Secure Ripping?
Secure ripping is making sure there were no errors during the extraction of audio from a CD. Popular Windows CD rippers, such as CDex and EAC try to ensure a bit-perfect rip for every track by checking the results, and re-reading any bad areas (from scratches) as many times as needed using read offsets, etc. Max and Rubyripper provide similiar results as alternative secure rippers for Mac OS/X and Linux respectively using their own effective correction mechanisms.
